QIMC announces huge discovery of Hydrogen Soil Samples near Ville-Marie

Sep 16, 2024


Quebec Innovative Materials Corp., is proud to announce a landmark discovery made in collaboration with our Quebec partner, the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS). The findings from the recently completed 9.7km north-south line 7 have uncovered hydrogen soil samples with concentrations exceeding 1000 parts per million (ppm). Significantly, we observed 8 readings exceeding 600 ppm, with 2 of those surpassing 1000 ppm. Additionally, the average measured 531.9 ppm over a 450 ms interval between the readings above 1000 ppm (Fig. 1). Professor Marc Richer-Laflèche, Scientific Head of Applied Geoscience Laboratory comments, "These highly anomalous values can be considered first-class given the absolute values that, locally, exceed the instrumental detection limit of 1000 ppm. The results from Line 7 validate the geological hydrogen model interpretations we outlined in previous announcements." 

The data distribution is illustrated in Figure 2, which maps the anomalies against a backdrop of satellite imagery.
